    Help: Paint gun noob!@!@!@

    If you stay to waterbased finishes, get a small turbine unit. Earlex used to sell one for 150 or so, now their base is 300. :/ I have one and it is a lot easier to clean and sprays great. You might look at your local hardware/paint store and see what they have.

    Show us your welding projects

    Welded up this 14' long display rack for a local designer showroom. Hold the carpet sample boards. They had several of the bars with the rods attached, I had to cut them to size and make them work for the most part. Needed two more and had to cut and weld all those short pieces, not the most...

    Thank you It's held on with unicorn tears. lol I drilled and tapped threaded holes in the brass and drilled slightly oversized corresponding holes in the walnut. I threaded brass rod into the brass side and then filled the walnut holes with Total Boat Thixo epoxy. Let set up and voila.

    I found this piece of black walnut while visiting a friends shop. He had it in his burn pile and I saw its uniqueness so I grabbed it. The tree had sustained damage, most likely due to wind, and had split perfectly along a grain line. So you can see the tree from the inside out, which truly a...

    It was a white dye I found on Amazon. There's a ton of colors out there in liquid & powder form. Check out Beyond Wood Products, the colors he comes up with in resin are crazy. Thanks Royce! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Thanks! I use Total Boat epoxy with the slow hardener for these. You can find it on Amazon. The kits come with preset pumps for dispensing, no measuring or weighing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
